Hi Gulia -

I am in a situation very similar to yours. My father also lost 35lbs and could not afford to lose more (he was 6 feet tall and 170 before treatment). He and his doctors were against the feeding tube for multiple reasons.

He has been drinking Scandishakes -- they have twice the calories of Boost and Ensure for the same volume of liquid. They need to be ordered through a pharmacy or purchased online. Here is a link for more information:

Good luck. Hang in there. You are doing such an important job.
